Sixth Place: Chrysler Sebring Touring
Fifth Place: Toyota Camry LE
Fourth Place: Saturn Aura XE
Third Place: Kia Optima EX
Second Place: Nissan Altima 2.5S
First Place: Honda Accord SE

2007 Honda Accord SE

Highs: Heavenly steering, engine sings with gusto, no wasted space inside.

Lows: Anonymous looks, fussy rear-seatback latch, dated interior.

The Verdict: The everyman’s car that bonds with enthusiasts.

2007 Nissan Altima 2.5S

Highs: Z-wannabe handling, quickest to 60, Mach 2 sheetmetal.

Lows: Silly start button, engine thrash, some cheapness inside.

The Verdict: A pole setter that needs polish.

2007 Kia Optima EX

Highs: Tops the Toyota’s fit and finish, quiet inside, feature-packed for the price.

Lows: Spongy suspension, styling has high yawn factor.

The Verdict: Surprisingly delightful for fewer dollars.

2007 Saturn Aura XE

Highs: Styling à la mode, V-6 torque, happy in curves.

Lows: Dime-store interior, hand-dirtying trunk, poorest mileage.

The Verdict: Laudable, but let down by details.

2007 Toyota Camry LE

Highs: A smooth engine, scads of storage cubbies, a well-utilized interior.

Lows: Languid handling, a few loose trim bits, the curse of blandness.

The Verdict: Still the crown prince of mainstream.

2007 Chrysler Sebring Touring

Highs: Adventurous styling, rides on marshmallows, easy-fold rear seats.

Lows: Slushy controls, a sitting-in-a-hole feeling, slow-mo acceleration.

The Verdict: Chrysler pitches one to the Buick generation.

Possible the best car out there and Accord is on the 10Best Car for 2007 list

Hopefully this article will increase sales of the Accord and show buyers out there what is actually better, instead of choosing what they like. I am suprised Saturn is doing well as well as Kia.

You would rather them buy a car they don't like? :eh:

No, instead of consumers choosing a car they think is good, Car and Driver proves which car you should look at.

disappointing that the camry ranked so low, especially considering motor trend named it the car of the year. funny one of the cons i constantly hear about hondas is that they're boring, yet car and driver is always praising them for the fun drive quality

So you would rather buy a car C&D like rather than what you like.
You don't make much sense man.

I would of thought about buying a Nissan but if I experts tell me the Accord is better, than I get the Accord. Also I can look at the highs and lows. Camry has low Quality, so I would avoid it. Sebrings are slow so I would not buy it. Accords have Heavenly steering so it may help me in my decision.

Thats how its ranked. I think its because they tested the I4 which is really underpowered with only 158 horsepower and Toyota quality has gone down. So the loose pieces of the car brought down the score. Also its really slow. Altima I4 goes 0-60 in mid 7 seconds!

I'm speechless. I guess there are people out there that let other tell them how to think, what to like, and what to buy.h:

I am just saying that they provide facts about each car so it should make it easier for consumers to make the right decision instead of the wrong decision. Yea, buy something you want, but also keep in mind the facts since nobody understand cars like the experts.

asianautica

The only wrong decision one could make is just go buy the car that's rank #1 w/out test driving the competitors. If you test drive everything and pick the one you like best, how can that be a wrong decision? No body understand what you want more than you. So experts know didly squat on what you want.

good point asianautica

lets get back on topic. Congrats on Honda for making it in first place. Also the only car that has rear LED tail lights, looks very nice.
